Costa Rican Tres Rios Black Honey

Tropical-honeysuckle-red fruit. The finish lingers with caramel sweetness.

This small lot of coffee is grown in Tarrazu on Finca Higuito and is comprised of entirely Red Bourbon. The coffee was processed in the black honey method where more than 75% of the honey was retained and intact. Mucilage is a sweet, sticky substance that surrounds the seeds and translates to sweet, caramel flavor in the cup. More humidity and a slower evelopment in the process leads to black honey.
